SINGAPORE FELL 78 YEARS AGO. Churchill described it as “the worst disaster and largest capitulation in British history”. Over 80,000 troops surrendered. I was there.
This Monograph describeds how the Japanese invaded Malaya and captured Singapore, and explores the Causes of Defeat. Then, it reviews the rest of the war in the East, including two Victories and the Re-Occupation of Malaya and Singapore, to see how the British fared. The focus is on those responsible for the Fall of Singapore, and on whether the British did redeem their honour.
Over 500 pages, it is extensively hyperlinked. The conclusions are summarized in the various Assessments at th end of each chapter.
